Lyrics When Did I Fall In Love? - Audra McDonald

When did respect first become affection?
When did affection suddenly soar?
What a strange and beautiful touch
That I love him so much
When I didn't before...

When did I fall in love?
What night? Which day?
When did I first begin to feel this way?
How could the moment pass?
Unfelt? Ignored?
Where was the blinding flash?
Where was the crashing chord?
When did I fall in love?
I can't recall,
Not that it matters at all.
It doesn't matter when or why or how
As long as I love him now.

Out of the house ten seconds and I miss him.
I miss him more with each goodbye.
Out of the house in seconds and I miss him,
And no one's more astonished than I.
I never once pretended that I loved him –
When did it start, this change of heart?

When did I fall in love?
What night? Which day?
When did I first begin to feel this way?
How could the moment pass?
Unfelt? Ignored?
Where was the blinding flash?
Where was the crashing chord?
When did I fall in love?
I can't recall,
Not that it matters at all.
It doesn't matter when or why or how
As long as I love him now.
